Lipids, Molecular & Cellular Biology Of 2011

The 2011 Gordon Research Conference on Molecular and Cellular Biology of Lipids will bring together outstanding scientists in the field to present and discuss their research on lipid metabolism, emphasizing the roles of lipids in health and disease at the molecular, cellular, and organismal levels. The meeting will be held July 17-22 at the Waterville Valley Resort in Waterville Valley, New Hampshire. First organized in 1955, the Molecular and Cellular Biology of Lipids conference is among the oldest continuous in Gordon Conference meetings. The 2011 meeting will include nine lecture sessions and four afternoon poster sessions. The lecture sessions will cover a broad range of topics, including transcriptional and posttranscriptional regulation of lipid metabolism, lipids and cell signaling, novel lipid mediators in energy metabolism, lipid trafficking, membrane lipid structure and dynamics and lipid-protein interactions, genetics and enzymology of lipid metabolism, and lipid storage and utilization in models of human disease.
